Beat the hoesepipe ban with hosepipe-free car care
- Rise and shine! Wash the car in the shade when the paintwork is cool; early mornings are ideal
- Use a dedicated pre-wash spray to loosen the worst of the dirt, then rinse thoroughly
- Wash using the two-bucket method – one filled with soapy water, one with clean water so you can rinse your mitt and avoid reapplying dirt to the car after cleaning each section
- Use lots of soapy water, clean one panel at a time and never scrub! Use specialist detergents if you encounter stubborn stains like tar or bird lime
- Rinse and repeat – wash in sections and rinse from the bottom up so you can see where the suds remain
- To clear soapy water from nooks and crannies, notably within the wheels, use an empty pump sprayer filled with clean water
- Watch out for water spotting – dry the car before the sun does by using a clean microfibre
- Between washes, deploy a detailing spray to avoid having to do a full clean so frequently
- If you don’t have time for a full hosepipe-free car wash, consider a quick clean of the glass and light units to maintain good visibility and keep the car looking presentable
- Apply protection to your paintwork to resist the grime, making the next clean much easier to perform
